A. FISCHER. SIPHON BOTTLE.

Patented Dec. 13,1881.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ALBERTFISGHER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO HIM- SELF ANDELIZA A. HERTZLER, OF SAME PLACE.

SIPHON-BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,653, dated December13, 1881. Application filed May 24, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT FIsoHER, of thecity and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Siphon-Bottles; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of thesame, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part hereof.

The nature of my invention will appear from the following specificationand claim. In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of mydevice; Fig. 2, a detached perspective view of the neck of abottlespecially prepared to rr ceive my attachment; Fig. 3, a supplementaladjustable flanged neck-piece to place upon ordinary bottles to receivemy im provement; Fig. 4, a detached view of my clutch or clamp.

A is the bottle orjug; B, the flanges of the neck; 0, the clamp; D, aflanged screw-nut;

E, the siphon-tube; F, a screw-thread upon the upper part of thesiphon-tube; G, the valve; G, discharge-spigot; H, the supplemental ad-2 5 justable flanged neck-piece; I I, the two flanges thereof; J, itshinge; K, its adjustablescrew; L, a large flange secured rigidly uponthe siphon-tube; M, a rubber washer or packing to tightly pack the spacebetweenthe flange and the upper surface of the neck of jthe bottle. Theclutch O clamps over the .upper edge of the flange of the screw-nut D,and below under the flange B of the neck of the bottle. There are twosections of the flange B, cutout (see Fig. 2) to permit the entry of thelower inwardly-turned lips ofolamp O beneath them. The lips of the clampare pushed down through these channels, and the clamp is then turned soas to bring its lips under the flange B on either side. The screw-nut(see Fig. 1) is then turned so as to pass up 011 the thread F. Theflange of the nut thus strikes the under surface of the top of clamp (3,draws it up tightly, and forces down the flange L upon the rubberwasher, thus tightly sealin g the bottle. It is unsealed by reversingthe movement of nut D- that is, running it down the thread F.

For placing my apparatus upon the necks of ordinary bottles, which arenot provided with the cut flange shown in Fig. 2, I pass the flangedneokband H, Fig. 3, around it and tighten the adjusting-screw K, so asto secure it, care being taken that the flanges I I are wider than thoseof the bottle. Theinner edges of the lips of clamp 0 should be slightlyfarther apart than the length of the diameter of the flange of thebottle. The apparatus is then applied as above described, thelips oftheclamp setting in beneath the broken or out flanges of the neck-piece H.The neokband H will fit various sizes of necks, as the screw K can betaken out, the band opened by its hinge J, and then clasped around theneck, the lower screw, K, can then be placed through the ears K, onlyone of which is screw-threaded, and the band drawn up until it is tightby turning the screw K.

The valve G is an ordinary globe-valve and the discharge-tube extendsfrom it laterally, the said tube communicating with the interior of thevalve, as well as the upper portion of the siphon-tube, in such mannerthatcommunication may be readily established or cut ofl' between the twofor the purpose of discharging or retaining the water.

My bottle is filled with the liquid to be charged with gas. Theapparatus described is then inserted and fitted to it. After this it ischarged with aerated gas through the spigot or valve.

The tube E, with its screw-threaded portion, I make of one piece ofsuitable metal, and the disk L is rigidly secured thereon, as abovestated.

What I claim as new is- The combination, in a siphon-bottle, of thescrew-threaded siphon-tube, the flange or disk rigid thereon, thepacking,- the clamp, the flanged nut, and a valve at the junction of thesiphon-tube with the spigot, substantially as and for the purposedescribed.

ALBERT FISCHER.
